Dampierre is a
self-proclaimed genius conman that travels the world with his glib tongue. When
he fights, he
trips and acts hurt on purpose, only to surprise his opponents with attacks. He also acts as if he is uninterested in
fighting, but then attacks with the hidden daggers on both of his arms.
Due to his top hat, mustache, and height, Dampierre's appearance is reminiscent of Bill "The Butcher"
Cutting (played by Daniel-Day Lewis) as seen in Gangs of New York (2002).

Definitely
a unique personality to the Soul series, Dampierre's charisma, weapon
& fighting style all suit him very well. He's one of the most hilariously
cool fighting game characters of recent times, and certainly brings some welcomed comic
relief to the Soul series. His moveset is as innovative as it is
hilarious, and he's an incredibly fun character to use if you take the time to
learn him. Some of his moves in SC5 are literally random, making him
unpredictable even to a player in control.

I was expecting to see him return in SC5 and I'm definitely glad
to see him back. The fact that he now has Mishima-esk hell sweeps and a Thunder
Godfist makes his moveset even more hilarious.
